@Dragonstrike, I'll let you decide when exactly Conversion progresses from one stage to another, but it should probably take a while. And yes, Psywave ignores defense.
Backstories: The GM should know about any major developments as soon as you know about them. That's important, because NPCs have a small chance of knowing about your backstory - Psychics, for example. Plus, I will want to write them into the campaign as soon as possible. The more other people and elements your backstory involves, the more important it is that I know about it.
It's still fine to make things up as long as they don't affect others. But it will be more rewarding in the long term if the GM is a step ahead of the other players.
